Yivan (ID: 00000048e0a1f566) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/17/2023 This is really good for quick small edits. It just works. It's a hassle to "query feature" first before finding the button, but this will do. It'd be amazing if we can also edit/customize the changeset comment, perhaps in the extension settings. Other than that, very good and amazing extension!

Guillaume Rischard (ID: 000000fd402fd9bc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/01/2022 Very useful way of making small edits right on the page. I wish it had a way of adding a source description, I'd give it six stars.
